NAACP collecting complaints about police By AL WHELESS and WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writers

Theodous Bryant — who told the Henderson City Council Monday he was a victim of police cruelty — is responding to the National NAACP organization’s request for such complaints from witnesses or victims. Horace P. Bullock, president of the Vance County Branch, said Bryant “is in the process” of filing a statement that will be sent to the NAACP headquarters, along with any other

complaints from the public concerning law enforcement agencies. Bullock added that reports of police misconduct or abuse affecting people of all races can be recorded by calling the branch at (252) 492-0930 or by filling out a form and leaving it at the local office at 315 S. Garnett St., second floor, Suite 208. A press release signed by Bullock stated that: “Public safety is a civil and

of our neighborhoods. “Together, we can change that. Together, we can ensure that our communities receive equal protection and are not treated unfairly by those we trust to protect us. “Tell us about what you have experienced or witnessed. The NAACP will contact the proper authorities and provide you with an answer to your concerns as soon as possible.” Accompanied by Rev. Clarence “C.J.” Dale, Bryant told

Group wants victims, witnesses to file reports human right. We count on law enforcement to provide protection and security in our communities. “However, an act of police misconduct or abuse threatens the legitimacy, fairness and effectiveness of our justice system — and contributes to the violence and victimization in many

Wes Hight plays guitar with Brain Vacation while a student at Kerr-Vance Academy a number of years ago in Henderson.

KVA graduate seeking an ‘Appalachian high’ By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

Wes Hight — who played guitar for a band called Brain Vacation while attending Kerr-Vance Academy — doesn’t get one while helping put on the Music On The Mountaintop Festival in Boone. The second-annual, ecologicallydriven fund-raiser will be held this Saturday at The Old Fairgrounds in the high country. Numerous groups, including several national acts, will create a blend of Americana, bluegrass, and acoustic funk and folk. Now working in management for Tellski — a golf and ski resort company in Telluride, Colo. — the 2007 graduate of Appalachian State University is spending a month back in North Carolina to assist in getting the large-scale effort to better the environment up and running. “I’m helping take care of every little detail such as alerting the media and mowing the lawns at the fairgrounds where the festival takes place,” Hight said.

“We really hope to grow this into something that will be here 50 years from now,” he added. “The idea is to raise money and give a substantial part of it to AIRE.” The acronym stands for Appalachian Institute for Renewable Energy. The non-profit organization was formed to promote strong economies and healthy environments throughout Central and Southern Appalachia. Among other things, it seeks to reduce the region’s dependence on mountain-top-removal coal mining and additional non-renewable energy sources. AIRE also strives to create economically and environmentally sustainable livelihoods. Last year, a majority of the proceeds from the one-day festival went to North Carolina Green Power and the Appalachian State University Energy Center. Tickets for this Saturday’s event cost $45 for general admission and $40 for students. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to www.musiPlease see GRADUATE, page 4A

The Henderson City Council earlier this week formally closed the book on the David Street neighborhood revitalization project on the northeast side of the city. City Planner Erris Dunston said Community Development Block Grants totaling $771,049 were used to pay for acquisitions, demolitions and rehabilitations, construction Dunston of a playground and improvements to sewer and water, plus a widening and resurfacing of the street. All that is left on the to-do list is to repair a resident’s roof, Dunston said. After no one spoke in the public hearing phase of the matter, Councilman Michael Rainey led the vote for closure. Councilman Michael Inscoe said that, although he had nothing to do with the project, he would refrain from voting because he does consulting work for the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments. David Street has been in the news for approximately half a decade. In February 2005, U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield and his staff saw first-hand the blight in Henderson as part of a tour of his

congressional district and before upcoming city efforts to lobby the federal government for funding. The tour covered Flint Hill and North and South Henderson. “This is crazy,” one of Butterfield’s staffers was quoted as saying while riding through the David Street area. Butterfield himself later described some parts of Henderson as resembling Third World countries, but noted nothing on the tour surprised him. In June 2005, the city received $653,000 in CDBG funding for a makeover of the David Street area. The city had asked for grant funding as far back as November 2004. David Street was back in the news last fall, when the present council in November reopened the completed project as part of a unanimous vote for what would turn out to be an unsuccessful effort to obtain a $1 million CDBG grant to help pay for a performing arts center at Embassy Square in the city center. The council amended the David Street project to create a sub area in which the performing arts center would be part of what was being called the future Embassy Square Neighborhood Facility. The city intended to use the David Street project to obtain the CDBG grant via the state Division of Community Assistance, with the non-profit Embassy Square Cultural Center Foundation to obtain $7.3 million in private funding. The foundation is the nonprofit fund-raising Please see COUNCIL, page 3A

Sen. Ted Kennedy

HYANNIS PORT, Mass. — A black shroud with a vase of white roses draped a desk in the Senate on Wednesday. There was no more shock of white hair, booming voice or pointed finger in the heat of debate. Ted Kennedy, the last of the Kennedys who fascinated the nation with their ambition, style, idealism, tragedies — and sometimes sheer recklessness — is dead at 77. With his passing, the Senate lost its dominant liberal and one of its legendary dealmakers. The nation lost what remained of “Camelot,” the already distant era of the

City Council members that he was also the victim of degrading language because of his race, and claimed that an officer physically abused his grandmother. “I feel that I’m treated unfairly,” Bryant said. “I really don’t feel safe around the Henderson police.” Also addressing the Council, Dale claimed that the mother of a man who was shot earlier this summer has been unable to

A Lynne Avenue resident said 29 of his fellow Oxford residents along Lynne Willie R. Pulliam, 80 from Oakridge Avenue Lelia B. Smith, 88 to Valley View Drive are Obituaries, 4A calling for Henderson’s municipal government to install speed bumps. The resident, Jimmie Ayscue, who doubles as a Planning Board member, said a 2003 lowering of the speed limit from 35 mph

to 25 mph has not helped at all. “I don’t expect our police to sit there and monitor traffic all the time, but somebody is going to get hurt on Lynne Avenue unless we do something,” Ayscue told the City Council on Monday evening. Mayor Pete O’Geary turned the matter over to Manager Ray Griffin, who said there is a protocol for evaluations of such requests. Ayscue said the

request is in the form of a petition. Ayscue had lived along Lynne in the late 1960s before moving into a house off U.S. 158 Bypass and living there some three decades before returning to Lynne some six years ago. Ayscue said he has enjoyed living in the city again, “but I never for a day dreamed there would be as much traffic on Lynne Avenue as there is

— and I mean speeders.” “We have seen teenagers racing down Lynne Avenue, side by side,” Ayscue said, noting he has seen three cars racing behind the other at anywhere from 50-60 mph and has seen teenagers hanging out of moving vehicles. Ayscue additionally said there are several elderly residents along Lynne who back their vehicles out of their driveways and, after starting to get going on

Lynne, have other vehicles at their rear bumpers. And Ayscue said after he met every one of his neighbors about the situation, the response was, “Oh, thank goodness we’re going to finally do something.” Ayscue said he knows the “negative side” of having speed bumps.

Some of the new teachers in Vance County Schools for the 2009-2010 talk with administrators after the breakfast that officially welcomed them to local schools on Aug. 12.

New Vance County teachers welcomed to school system Teachers who are new to Vance County Schools were officially welcomed to the district at a breakfast held in their honor on Aug. 12 at Dabney Elementary School. Approximately 65 new teachers attended the breakfast to begin a threeday orientation designed to help them become familiar with local schools, policies and procedures. During the welcoming breakfast, the teachers were addressed in the school’s cafeteria by Wil McLean, executive director of Human Resource Management; Michael Putney, principal of Dabney Elementary; Gloria J. White, chairperson of the Vance County Board of Education; Dan Brummitt, chairman of the Vance County Board of Commissioners; Bill Edwards, president of the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce; Brenda Lloyd of Henderson Middle School and the Vance County Schools’ Teacher of the Year; Brian Creasman, principal of Northern Vance High School and the Vance County Schools’ Principal of the Year; and Norman Shearin, Ph.D., superintendent of Vance County Schools. White urged the new teachers to challenge their students each day.

“Treat each child special,” she said. “Try your best each day. Leave no child behind, and reach into your heart and give a child a piece of it.” Lloyd, their representative as the Teacher of the Year, praised them. “You are the most noble prize of these worlds,” she stated. She went on to share a story with them about the creation of the ideal teacher, who must have six hands to get all of her or his tasks completed and three pairs of eyes to see all they must see in the classroom. As the representative of local principals, Creasman told them all to have fun and to laugh. “You have to have fun to enjoy teaching,” he noted. Following the breakfast, the teachers were part of breakout sessions which focused on student services, compliance issues, and finance and human resource matters. They also had an opportunity to

meet and talk with representatives of several local businesses and teacher support groups. These included representatives from BB&T, Farm Bureau Insurance, Franklin-Granville-Vance Smart Start Inc., the Vance County Public Education Foundation, H. Leslie Perry Memorial Library, Prudential N.C. 401K, State Employees Credit Union, Vance County Association of Educators, North Carolina Model Teacher Education Consortium, the Pierce Group, Pre-Paid Legal Services, Sylvan Learning Center and The Teacher Store. Over the next two days, they participated in workshops which included topics such as classroom management, state and local instructional standards, curriculum review and training to assist special needs students in the classroom.

Representatives from the Vance County Department of Social Services will hold an adult Medicaid forum on Sept. 2 at 11:15 a.m. in the dining room at the Vance County Senior Center. Vance County residents age 50 and over are encouraged to attend and learn more about adult Medicaid, long-term care and special assistance in-home care. Representatives will be on hand to answer any questions. The senior center is located at 126 S. Garnett Street. For further information, call 492-5001, ext. 216.

Manager Frank Frazier as saying employees were studying traffic on Lynne Avenue from Oakridge to Coleman Place. While monitoring showed 86 percent of vehicles exceeded the speed limit there, most were traveling less than 40 miles per hour, Frazier was quoted as saying. Then-Councilman Ranger Wilkerson was quoted as saying he had reservations about one potential method for slowing traffic on Lynne — installing speed bumps — because they are a hazard to

emergency vehicles. Wilkerson’s son, Fire Chief Danny Wilkerson, at the time said speed bumps lengthen emergency response times because they require slowing vehicles nearly to a stop. Ayscue told the council on Monday evening that, “We don’t want to stop the traffic. We want to slow it down.” And Ayscue said in requesting action, “I don’t want it to be six years from now. We need some help now.” Councilman Michael Rainey, who doubles as

The woman, Brenda Henderson, said her son, Rakeem Lewis, was struck by gunfire on June 13. “She has tried to contact the detective, left numerous calls,” Dale added, claiming his attempts to obtain a response failed.

“Not one phone call has been returned.” Police have said Lewis and Christal M. Watson were shot in their backs as they stood in the parking lot behind the convention center at 100 Wortham Court. Noting a previous incident involving himself and police, Dale told the council: “I would hope and pray that this time, something is going to be done and not Artistic Director

special projects manager and the executive director of the Embassy Foundation, when askedby the Dispatch about the closing of the David Street project, said, “It was a human mistake.” City Manager Ray Griffin last week told the Dispatch that the Division of Community Assistance had declined Henderson’s request for the $1 million grant, with the letter reading, in part, “Based on our review of the proposed amendment documentation and the gap in additional funds needed to complete this proposed project, DAC will not be able to provide CDBG funds.” Griffin had earlier told the Dispatch that the nationwide economic downturn and the changes in the banking industry had impacted the foundation’s ability to raise funds.

And there had been quite an uproar about the grant application for the second phase, with the Internet blog Home in Henderson in late September reporting that the city government made clerical snafus and submitted “irregularities” in the paperwork to the state. Yount accused the city of being “shadowy” and Councilman Garry Daeke on Aug. 18, 2008, voted against moving ahead with seeking the grant because he wanted better information.

to the state. Edwards at the time argued while he was not against the concept of Embassy Square, he believed the city had critical needs, particularly in infrastructure and in crime prevention. Ringley said she was not opposed to a performing arts center when the project was conceived because the city had a sounder tax base. Ringley questioned the timing given the present weak condition of the national commerce. Embassy Foundation Chairman Sam Watkins told the council that, “You’re not going to save your way to prosperity” and added that, “unless we’re willing to make investments, we’re going to continue to flounder in this community.” Also supporting the project were Charlie John Smith, the Rev.

Moments before the council’s November actions, opponent Elissa Yount, a former councilwoman, argued that, “Veiling this application as a way to improve living conditions on David Street is, frankly, bogus. And it’s also a hoax to say the living conditions in the city and county will improve when a performing arts center is built.” The other opponents were former councilman Bobby Gupton, Lewis Edwards and Cathy Ringley, who serves on the Board of Adjustment.

KENNEDY, from page one family dynasty. Edward Moore Kennedy was the last of the famous brothers: John the assassinated president, Robert the assassinated senator and presidential candidate, Joseph the aviator killed in action in World War II when Ted was 12. His own presidential bid a failure 30 years ago, Kennedy just last year jumped into a fractious Democratic presidential nomination fight to side with Barack Obama, giving the Illinois senator a boost that had the air of a family anointment. “For his family, he was a guardian,” Obama said Wednesday. “For America, he was a defender of a dream.” Kennedy will be buried Saturday at Arlington National Cemetery after a funeral Mass in Boston. Also buried at Arlington, the military cemetery overlooking the capital city, are John and Robert Kennedy; John Kennedy’s wife, Jacqueline; their baby son, Patrick, who died after two days, and their stillborn child. To Americans and much of the world, Kennedy was best known as the last surviving son of the nation’s most glamorous political family. Of nine children born to Joseph and Rose Kennedy, Jean Kennedy Smith is the only one alive. To senators of both parties, he was one of their own. “Even when you expect it, even when you know it’s coming, in this case it hurts a great deal,” said Democrat Patrick Leahy of Vermont. Politicians also calculated the consequences for Obama’s push for expanded health coverage. For several months, at least, Kennedy’s death will deprive the Democrats of a vote that could prove crucial for his signature cause of health reform. His illness had sidelined him from an intense debate that would have found him at the core any other time. Conservative Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, his improbable Republican partner on

This undated file photo shows the Kennedy brothers, John F. Kennedy, left, Robert Kennedy, and Ted Kennedy, right, in Hyannis Port, Mass. children’s health insurance, volunteerism, student aid and more, said the Senate probably would have had a health care deal by now if Kennedy had been healthy enough to work with him. He was the last of the famous Kennedy brothers: John the assassinated president, Robert the assassinated senator and presidential candidate, Joseph the aviator killed in action in World War II when Ted was 12. He lost his sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, less than two weeks ago, saw the bright promise of nephew John F. Kennedy Jr. end in a plane crash in 1999 and struggled with excesses of his own until he became a settled elder statesman. Kennedy was a master orator. But the words that live for the ages seem to be those he uttered in tragedy or defeat. Older Americans remember his eulogy of Robert Kennedy, when he asked history not to idealize his brother but remember him “simply as a good and decent man who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.” Remembered, too, is his

speech conceding the 1980 Democratic presidential nomination to the incumbent Jimmy Carter. “For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die,” he said. By then, his hopes of reaching the White House had been damaged by his behavior a decade earlier in the scandal known as Chappaquiddick. On the night of July 18, 1969, Kennedy drove his car off a bridge and into a pond on Chappaquiddick Island, on Martha’s Vineyard, and swam to safety while companion Mary Jo Kopechne drowned in the car. He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident; a judge said his actions probably contributed to the young woman’s death. He received a suspended sentence and probation. Kennedy’s legislative legacy includes health insurance for children of the working poor, the landmark 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, family leave and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. He was also key to passage of the No Child Left Behind Education law and a Medicare drug benefit for the

elderly, both championed by Republican President George W. Bush. In the Senate, Republicans respected and often befriended him. But his essential liberalism marked him as a lightning rod, too. He proved a handy fundraising foil motivating Republicans to open their wallets to fight anything he stood for. In his later years, Kennedy cut a barrel-chested profile, with a swath of white hair, a booming voice and a thick, widely imitated Boston accent. “I think that once he realized he was never going to be president — that that was not the legacy he had to follow — he really worked at becoming the best senator he possibly could,” Leahy said. “And he did.” He was first elected to the Senate in 1962, taking the seat that his brother John had occupied before winning the White House, and he served longer than all but two senators in history. Kennedy was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in May 2008 and underwent surgery and a grueling regimen of radiation and chemotherapy. He made a surprise return to the Capitol last summer to cast a decisive vote for the Democrats on Medicare. He made sure he was there again in January to see his former Senate colleague sworn in as president but suffered a seizure at a celebratory luncheon afterward. His survivors include a daughter, Kara Kennedy Allen; two sons, Edward Jr. and Patrick, a congressman from Rhode Island, and two stepchildren, Caroline and Curran Raclin. Edward Jr. lost a leg to bone cancer in 1973 at age 12. Kara had a cancerous tumor removed from her lung in 2003. In 1988, Patrick had a non-cancerous tumor pressing on his spine removed. He also has struggled with depression and addiction and recently spent time at an addiction treatment center.

Hight’s former roommate at Appalachian State, Jimmy Hunt, came up with the festival idea more than two years ago and called Hight. The two friends worked together to make what became a shared dream a reality.

“We wrote up about a 20page plan for it and put it into action,” Hight said Wednesday during a telephone interview. Preparation included talking to business people, as well as to faculty members at the University’s Entrepreneurship Center in Boone. “We wanted to learn as much from the people in the community up here in the

high country as we could before we put this on,” he said. “Jimmy lives in Boone and works on the festival all-year long as the director, so I guess that makes me the assistant director,” Hight explained. About two weeks ago, he came home to Henderson to “hang out” for a few days with his parents, Chip and Barbara Hight, and his grandparents, Bob and Anne

MPMC Nephrology & Hypertension opens Maria Parham Medical Center has announced the opening on Aug. 24 of Maria Parham Nephrology & Hypertension. Dr. Ihab Zaggout, who has been working in the hospitalist program, will offer treatment for patients suffering from hypertension, as well as kidney/ Zaggout renal issues. Nephrologists are medical

doctors who evaluate, diagnose and treat diseases of the urniary tract and kidneys. Physicians who specialize in treating those patients often treat individuals with hypertension as well. High blood pressure damages the blood vessels and reduces blood supply to the kidneys, so kidney disorders and high blood pressure are often interrelated. Zaggout completed his internal medicine residency at the Medical Center of Central Georgia and his

Nephrology Fellowship at the Medical College of Georgia. He is a member of numerous professional societies to include the American College of Physicians, the American College of Nephrology and the National Kidney Foundation. Maria Parham Nephrology & Hypertension is located at Maria Parham Medical Center in the J.W. Jenkins Building, Suite 006. Zaggout’s office may be reached by dialing (252) 436-1080.

DEAR ABBY: That young man should pony up some of his own money if he wants to live on campus, because then he will be more likely to appreciate the investment. I had a job all through high school and college. Paying my own way made it that much more satisfying. — MICHELE IN WISCONSIN

DEAR ABBY: How long has it been since you’ve lived in a college dorm? You advised that dorms provide supervision and structure. Abby, countless unstructured, unsupervised and uncondoned activities go on there. “Perplexed” should stick to her guns. If her son’s senior year was “less than stellar,” his freshman year at college could be a disaster. Moving into the dorms midway through the school year won’t end the world. I saw kids do it all the time. Things have changed, Abby. Wake up and smell the brewskis! — SEEN IT ALL IN KENTUCKY

BROADCAST

DEAR ABBY: The cost of housing and food service at college can often equal or exceed the cost of tuition. Students who have the advantage of living close to campus can save a significant amount of money by living at home. To fully experience university life and meet new friends, they can become involved with the

DEAR ABBY: My advice to that mother and her son is to call the school and ask if there is any space left in the dorms — fast! The freshman year of college is a critical time in a person’s life, one in which students are open to making new friends. Living on campus in a dorm makes it much easier and allows them to better integrate into campus life. While there are many commuter students across the nation, they can suffer from loneliness and depression because of their detachment from the rest of the students on campus. I, too, went to a school within reasonable driving distance from home, and I know from experience how difficult it can be. — TRACY IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

many campus organizations that are sponsored. Higher education is very expensive, and students need to understand the costs. Any method to cut down on the expense, including living at home, should be discussed by parents and children. In today’s work force, a college education is extremely valuable -- and one can be obtained without breaking the bank. — UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR IN COLORADO

NEWS KIDS

DEAR ABBY: I disagree with your advice to “Perplexed Mom in New York” (June 20), who is requiring her son to live at home his first semester of college because of “less than stellar” behavior during his senior year of high school. I am a college administrator in charge of dismissals. It is not that difficult to get a dorm room mid-year because there are dismissals, transfers and students who change their minds about their living arrangements. If “Mom” warned her son that his high school conduct would have an impact on Dear her decision to allow Abby him to live Universal Press on campus, Syndicate she should stick to it. She should not let him bully her into giving him something he doesn’t deserve. He needs to understand that his behavior cost him his dorm space. She made the right call. I recommend spelling out in writing exactly what he will need to do to move on campus. He should be allowed to move only if he complies 100 percent. College is a gift to be earned. There is no legal obligation for parents to pay for their child to attend. And when there is trouble, parents must act quickly and not attempt to block consequences their kids need to experience. It’s all part of the learning process. — ANN IN NEWARK, DEL. DEAR ANN: Thank you for lending your professional perspective. Responses to that letter poured in from educators, students and parents who “kindly” reminded me that times have changed since my college days. Read on:

Daily Meditation Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Proverbs 3:29

Our Opinion

A commentary on commenting This newspaper launched a new Web site — softly and quietly, Tuesday night, largely not noticed until Wednesday morning — and, yes, it’s about time. We’ve been aware that the site — and its E-edition — the Dispatch had provided for the past few months simply wasn’t cutting the mustard. In an effort to bring work in-house, a corporate decision was made to try and handle more of that work within the newspaper group. But smart people sooner or later realize when it’s better to pay an expert to handle the job. Thus, the site our Internet users see before them today. Along with the new site come numerous additional features. We’re excited about some of them — though we’re still learning how to convince Google maps at times that we’re not the Henderson that’s a suburb of Las Vegas. And some of the features, frankly, make us a little nervous. We have commented in this space before about how some Web sites — major brands such as ESPN.com, CBSsportsline.com and CNN.com — have allowed relatively unfettered user interaction through the ability to “comment” at the end of stories. The intent is to drive traffic. The more people who comment, the more activity the site can brag about to advertisers. In some cases, traffic seems to be all that matters; who cares whether users are being even remotely civil? None of our prior Web sites have allowed such commenting. This one does — but we have the right and, if pushed, the obligation, to put an end to it. It isn’t that we dislike the idea of letting readers comment about our stories. We welcome letters to the editor in the print edition. Of course, to be published, requirements include a name, a city of residence, and a phone number, the latter of which is unpublished, but is just so we can call you to confirm who you are. We don’t have that power online. We can ask that you provide a name, but “Mickey Mouse” or “World’s Greatest Lover” are all too easy to type instead of the truth. (You might like to think the latter is true, but it can be so only for one person in the whole world, and what are the odds that it’s you?) So we ask that you please use the comments section of our new Web site in the spirit with which it’s intended. Debate isn’t just permitted, it’s a welcome use of the feature. But debate needn’t descend into angry, vulgar, abusive arguments and insults. Such posts will be deleted — and already have been. It’s a fine line that we walk in determining which posts will stay and which will not. Unlike letters in the print edition of The Daily Dispatch, online policies are different and we won’t be editing anyone’s comments to make them suitable for public consumption. To channel The Clash, it’s only a question of “Should they stay or should they go now?” So if you write 10 sentences that are perfectly (or at least passably) acceptable and then close with: “And I hope you catch some awful disease and die!” ... You guessed it; you’re gone. That doesn’t mean some comments won’t offend your sensibilities. Frankly, that’s part of a free exchange of ideas. But if everyone stays a good bit more than a toenail’s distance away from crossing the line, then that’s probably the best we can hope. As one final word of warning — we don’t know who you are, but we can find out where you posted from. Every comment is traceable by its IP address, the Internet Protocol numbering system that sorts out all the computers online at any given time. So anyone who gets really out of line (including posting serious threats, spam, porn links, and so on) can be turned over to authorities. Our first comment at the new site came minutes after its “soft launch,” and from Jason Feingold, proprietor of homeinhenderson.com, a local news and discussion site where such commenting is frequent, and frequently in need of moderation. Never one to allow good wise to go uncracked, Jason wrote: “Welcome to the club.” Thanks, Jason. And as you warned us today from your own experience, we have our fingers poised over the “nuclear option” button, ready to obliterate those comments that simply can’t be tolerated. It’s a tough job. But to maintain any sense of decorum, somebody has to do it.

Recent bad news about CIA interrogators, Michael Jackson’s physician and Lt. William Calley of My Lai massacre fame brings a familiar theme rattling back into my mind like a ghost from the past: They were only following orders. That’s the notorious “Nuremberg defense.” It comes from the war crime trials in Nuremberg, Germany, in which Nazi officers tried to shift blame to their superiors for their mass murder of innocent civilians. That defense returned to mind with last weekend’s news out that Calley had broken four decades of media silence. Speaking to the Columbus, Ga., Kiwanis Club near Fort Benning, where he was convicted in 1971, Calley apologized for the massacre of hundreds of Vietnamese civilians in and around the village of My Lai in 1968. Although he said he was following orders, Calley was the only American soldier to be held legally responsible for the massacre that was conducted under his command. The Army reduced his original life sentence and he served only three years, mostly under house arrest ordered by President Nixon. Jimmy Carter, Georgia’s governor at the time, called Calley a “scapegoat.” I agree. For opponents of the war Calley became a visible symbol of its worst atrocities. For

defenders of the war, he became a scapegoat to avoid the prosecution of others above or below him in rank. As a young man who was drafted into the army just as Calley’s story broke in 1969, I understood both sides. Calley was guilty, but he was not alone. He was following orders from above, although there were conflicting Clarence accounts as to what exPage actly those Tribune Media orders Services were. The heroes of the day were helicopter pilot Hugh C. Thompson and two other soldiers who stopped the massacre before even more civilians were slaughtered. Still, there was a fundamental unfairness in the way Calley took the fall alone. Neither the Army nor Washington showed much appetite for prosecuting those who gave Calley his orders or the bad intelligence that targeted the village incorrectly as a beehive of enemy activity. Once allegations like that start up the chain of command, who knew where they might end up? The White House? Perish the thought. Then thoughts of the Nuremberg defense returned

when news broke that the Los Angeles coroner was blaming Michael Jackson’s death on a powerful anesthetic administered by his personal physician, Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist. It was not clear whether Murray would be charged. According to reports, he said he was actually trying to wean Jackson off of drugs administered by his other medical personnel. His doctors surely will say that they were diagnosing what they felt was best for Jackson’s insomnia and other ailments. Perhaps a jury will have to sort it out. But even after you separate out the gossip and rumors that swirl around the pop star’s death, you get a familiar picture: Wealthy celebrity with money to burn goes doctor shopping until he finds some who will prescribe things his way. Doctors can’t say they are only “following orders,” but some have a disturbingly loose way of going along with requests. It is fuzzy gray areas of judgment like that, awash in conflicting guidelines, that apparently moved Atty. Gen. Eric Holder to give CIA interrogators a break. He announced he was authorizing a preliminary review of whether CIA employees broke the law while interrogating suspected al-QaIda members after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But he stipulated that interrogators who operated “in good faith and within the scope

of legal guidance” would be exempt from prosecution. Holder is acknowledging that the Obama administration has a tighter definition of what constitutes torture than Team Bush did. Team Obama also released an internal May 2004 CIA report that concluded “unauthorized, improvised, inhumane, and undocumented” interrogation methods had been used on the suspects inside secret prisons. Holder’s announcement puts President Obama in an awkward position. Until now the president has fended off those who call for investigations of possible war crimes or other excesses by the Bush administration, saying we need to look forward, not backward. That’s a politically practical decision at a time when he has bigger fish to fry with health care, two wars and a sluggish economy. But a don’t-look-back posture also can amount to a dangerous dodge. The lesson of Calley’s tragic story should be to give soldiers, military commanders and intelligence commanders clear guidelines before putting them in contact with suspected enemies. Those who fail to identify and learn from past mistakes invite new ones.

Letters to the Editor Medical professionals make free physicals for athletes possible To the editor:

More than miles separate us Our story so far: Last year, Barack Obama was elected president, the first American of African heritage ever to reach that office. If this was regarded as a new beginning by most Americans, it was regarded apocalyptically by others who promptly proceeded to lose both their minds and any pretense of enlightenment. These are the people who immediately declared it their fervent hope that the new presidency fail, the ones who cheered when the governor of Texas raised the specter of secession, the ones who went online to rechristen the executive mansion the “Black” House, and to picture it with a watermelon patch out front. On tax day they were the ones who, having apparently just discovered the grim tidings April 15 brings us all each year, launched angry, unruly protests. In the debate over healthcare reform, they are the ones who have disrupted town hall meetings, shouting about the president’s supposed plan for “death panels” to euthanize the elderly. Now, they are the ones bringing firearms to places the president is speaking. The Washington Post tells us at least a dozen individuals have arrived openly — and, yes, legally — strapped at events in Arizona and New Hampshire, including at least one who carried a semiautomatic assault rifle. In case the implied threat is not clear, one of them also brought a sign referencing Thomas Jefferson’s quote about the need to water

the tree of liberty with “the blood of ... tyrants.” It remains unclear, once you get beyond the realm of Internet myth, alarmist rhetoric and blatant lie, what the substance of the president’s supposed tyranny might be. “Socialized health care?” Given that Leonard our librarPitts ies, schools, police and Distributed by fire departCagle Cartoons ments are all “socialized,” that’s hard to swallow. When and if the implied violence comes, perhaps its author will explain. Meanwhile, expect those who stoked his rage — i.e., the makers of Internet myths, alarmist rhetoric and blatant lies — to disdain any and all moral responsibility for the outcome. These are strange times. They call to mind what historian Henry Adams said in the mid-1800s: “There are grave doubts at the hugeness of the land and whether one government can comprehend the whole.” Adams spoke in geographical terms of a nation rapidly expanding toward the Pacific. Our challenge is less geographical than spiritual, less a question of the distance between Honolulu and New York than between you and the person right next to you. Such as when

you look at a guy who thought it a good idea to bring a “gun” to a presidential speech and find yourself stunned by incomprehension. On paper, he is your fellow American, but you absolutely do not know him, recognize nothing of yourself in him. You keep asking yourself: Who “is” this guy? We frame the differences in terms of “conservative” and “liberal,” but these are tired old markers that with overuse and misuse have largely lost whatever meaning they used to have and with it, any ability to explain us to us. This isn’t liberal vs. conservative, it is yesterday vs. tomorrow, the stress of profound cultural and demographic changes that will leave none of us as we were. And change, almost by definition, always comes too fast, always brings a sense of stark dislocation. As in the woman who cried to a reporter, “I want ‘my country’ back!” Probably the country she meant still had Beaver Cleaver on TV and Doris Day on “Your Hit Parade.” Round and round we go and where we stop, nobody knows. And it is an open question, as it was for Henry Adams, what kind of country we’ll have when it’s done. “Can” one government comprehend the whole? It may be harder to answer now than it was then. The distances that divide us cannot be measured in miles. Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald, 1 Herald Plaza, Miami, Fla., 33132.

Once again, members of our medical community pitched in to offer free physicals on June 3 for the student/athletes in our county. These physicals are required annually by the state athletic association and without the assistance of medical professionals, many young people would not be able to participate. Special thanks and acknowledgment goes out to Drs. Negron, Neunkirchner, Tucker, Mills, Dennis, Vijaya, Pruitt, Wiggs-Grimes, PA Will Valentine, nurse practitioners Estena Hawkins and Mishew Franklin, and nurses/assistants Becky Janssen, Kim Twisdale, Suzanne Crumpler, Eileen Grissom, Jane Ryan, Vanessa Denton, Tammy Roach, and Cindy Faulkner. These people dedicated their services and time to make athletics a safer environment this coming year. They met a need without hesitation. Our community should be PROUD of our No. 1 medical professionals. David Hicks, athletic director Northern Vance High and Ed Wilson, athletic director, Southern Vance High

Tapes: UNC student, 21, threatened suicide on I-85 in 911 call RALEIGH (AP) — A University of North Carolina student who was shot to death by a police officer told a 911 dispatcher he was trying to kill himself and that he had a gun, according to emergency tapes released Wednesday. “I’m trying to kill myself on I-40,” Courtland Smith, a fraternity president from Houston, told a Guilford County dispatcher. Smith was killed early Sunday morning after a confrontation with police following a 911 call during which the 21-year-old

repeatedly asked the Guilford County dispatcher to send help. Archdale police stopped Smith on Interstate 85 south of Greensboro. Officer Jeremy Paul Flinchum, 29, shot Smith after a “confrontation ensued,” according to a police report. Guilford Metro 911 released a recording of the call Wednesday after the assistant district attor-

ney in Randolph County sought a court order Monday to seal the tape. Smith told the dispatcher he had a little to drink that Saturday night and that he was carrying a 9mm pistol in his back pocket. Smith wouldn’t identify himself to the dispatcher, saying, “Everything that anyone needed to know got e-mailed to my parents.” He thanked the dispatcher for talking to him

but asked several times over the course of the 15-minute call why the police hadn’t arrived to pull him over. Smith refused the dispatcher’s requests to pull his car off the road, but pulled over when he saw flashing lights, according to the call. Smith placed the 911 call in Guilford County, but had passed over to Randolph County by the time police were

Northern Vance scored with about five minutes to play at Northern Nash Wednesday, coming from behind to get the 3-3 tie. The Vikings had a few looks in the final seconds, but couldn’t score. Kevin Byrom got the hat trick, Byrom scoring all three Viking goals. Blake Wade had two assists. Northern was coming off a 3-2 loss to Franklin Academy, after which coach David Hicks said his squad needed to play better as a team.

Hicks said that the team showed “wonderful teamwork” Wednesday, and that the goals scored were a “direct result” of working together. “(They) showed a lot of class tonight,” he said. The Fighting Knights scored first around minute 15, and Northern Vance got on the board about a minute later. The Vikings went up 2-1 with Byrom’s goal at minute 28. Northern Nash scored at minute 31 to make the score 2-2 at the half. The Knights took the lead again with about 24 to play, leading until Byrom’s unassisted goal tied it up. Northern (0-1-2) plays at the Garman Cup in Franklinton next Thursday.

The Spartans of Kerr-Vance rebounded from their first loss of the season with a four-set victory over Carolina Friends Wednesday (25-20, 25-20, 19-25, 25-17). KVA controlled the majority of the first two sets, and were up early in the third. But the Quakers wouldn’t allow themselves to be swept, and took over the second half of the set. “(We) jumped on this team early and stayed on them in the three games that we won,” said KVA coach Paul Ross. “In the other game, we were trying some different people in positions, and I was pleased with their play.” KVA returned to form in the fourth

set, jumping out to a 9-2 advantage. “They came back in after losing the third, got their focus back, executed, took care of business. I don’t think that game was really in doubt once we got to about 10,” said Ross. The teams traded points early in set one, but a Haley Ross ace and a Jesse Edwards kill on consecutive volleys made it 7-4. A 6-0 run a little later gave the Spartans an 18-10 lead and enough momentum to carry the set 25-20. KVA began the second set down 2-0, but scored five straight points, culminating with a Bailey Hughes ace, to lead 5-2. They held the lead for the rest of the set.

Pitino: Sex scandal ‘pure hell’ for family By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville coach Rick Pitino said Wednesday a sex scandal involving a woman accused of trying to extort millions from him has been “pure hell” for his family, fuming that newly released video of her police interview revived her “total fabrication.” Pitino spoke at a hastily called news conference hours after Louisville police released audio and video recordings of phone calls and an interview with Karen Cunagin Sypher, the woman at the heart of the scandal. Pitino has told police that he had sex with her six years ago. Sypher claims in the interview that Pitino sexually assaulted her, an allegation she brought to police after she was accused of trying to extort

Hard to feel for outed MLB players No doubt A-Rod feels a lot better now. Big Papi and Manny, too. Somewhere, Sammy Sosa must be smiling, even as he plots his latest baseball comeback. They were wronged, and now everyone knows. A bunch of judges got together Wednesday and told us so. No one was ever supposed to know they were juiced when they were hitting all those home runs just a few years back. Not Bud Selig, and certainly not the clubs paying them millions of dollars to slug balls out of the park. It was all supposed to be a secret. And it would have been if those pesky federal investigators hadn’t tried to find out what was really going on in baseball. They wanted answers, and they weren’t going to get them from the players. So they went on a fishing expedition and reeled some big names in. Of course, now we know a few of them — some lawyers who couldn’t keep a secret and some aggressive reporters took care of that. There’s nothing in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling Wednesday that will change that. The 70 pages of legal opinion don’t change the court of public opinion, which has long since found the outed players (yes, even Big Papi) guilty. The cat can’t be put back in the bag. The unnamed players on the list can’t even breathe a sigh of relief, because enough people know who they are and they might someday talk. Yes, in a perfect world certain names wouldn’t be made public while other names remain secret. But in a perfect world baseball players wouldn’t have used concoctions whipped up in a lab to make a mockery of the records that the game used to hold so sacred. So don’t feel too sorry for ARod and company just yet. Remember, it wasn’t those outing them who promised their names would never be revealed. It was the union and Major League Baseball, and together they’ve been in business of telling a lot of lies to fans for

reporting on her accusations by airing clips of the interviews Wednesday. Prosecutors did not pursue charges against the coach. “Everything that’s been

printed, everything that’s been reported, everything that’s been breaking in the news on the day Ted Kennedy died is 100 percent a lie, a lie,” Pitino said. “All of this has been a lie, a total fabrication of the truth.” The 56-year-old married father of five, who’s a Roman Catholic, said the scandal has taken a heavy toll on his wife and family. “It has been pure hell for her and my family,” he said. “I admitted to you I made a mistake, and believe me I will suffer for that mistake,” he added. Pitino’s remarks were his first public statements since a five-minute apology two weeks ago for an “indiscretion” with Sypher at a Louisville restaurant in 2003.

San Diego’s Nick Hundley scores on a Luis Rodriguez base hit as Atlanta catcher Brian McCann cannot hang on to the ball in the sixth inning of Wednesday’s game.

Six-run sixth enough for Padres in 12-5 win By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — San Diego stunned Atlanta with a six-run sixth inning, and Kevin Kouzmanoff finished off the Braves with a two-run homer that sent the Padres to a 12-5 rout Wednesday night. The last-place Padres won their second straight over the Braves, whose playoff hopes have taken a big blow during two sparsely attended games at Turner Field. On Thursday, San Diego will go for its first series sweep since taking three games from the Chicago Cubs on May 22-24. Coming off a 12-inning win in the series opener, the Padres failed to score in the top of the first after loading the bases with no outs, then fell behind when Brian McCann hit a three-run homer off Tim Stauffer (2-6) in the bottom half of the inning. A three-run lead looked pretty safe against the Padres, the lowest-scoring team in the NL. After escaping that early jam, Kenshin Kawakami (6-10) breezed through the next four innings, allowing only two baserunners. But San Diego struck suddenly in the sixth, sending 11 batters to the plate and scoring more

runs that inning than their last three games combined. Adrian Gonzalez started it with a double, Chase Headley followed with a single and Will Venable doubled in a run. Kouzmanoff’s groundout produced another run, and Nick Hundley finished off Kawakami with another RBI double, tying the game at 3. Eric O’Flaherty took over, but couldn’t stop the onslaught. Tony Gwynn Jr. singled and pinch-hitter Luis Rodriguez drove in another run with a hit. When the throw home got away from McCann, rolling about 10 feet away, Gwynn alertly raced to the plate to make it 5-3. Gonzalez finished off the big inning with an RBI single before Peter Moylan, the third Atlanta pitcher, finally got the third out. Ryan Church’s runscoring single in the bottom half pulled the Braves to 6-4, but Kouzmanoff went deep off Manny Acosta in the seventh for his 16th homer, and a three-run ninth really blew it open. The Braves dropped eight games behind firstplace Philadelphia in the NL East. Atlanta came into the night 5 1/2 games behind Colorado in the wild card.

NFL DeAngelo Williams sits out with sore knee CHARLOTTE (AP) — Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has missed practice with a sore knee.

NORFOLK, VA. — Joe Bateman finished off Jeff Bennett's first win in a Bulls uniform, as Durham won its third straight on Wednesday night, 4-2 over Norfolk. Bateman, the fourth Bulls pitcher of the night, retired the first two batters in the ninth. Freddy Guzman singled to center, stole second, and advance to third on former Bull

Joey Gathright's base hit to center field. Gathright then stole second, but with the tying runs in scoring position, Justin Turner grounded back to the mound to end the game, securing Bateman's fourth save. Before the back-to-back base hits, Durham pitchers had retired nine in a row. The streak had started when Julio DePaula got Guzman to ground into a 4-6-3 double play with the

bases loaded. That inning the Tides got their only runs on a two-run homer by former Bull Rhyne Hughes off Bennett (1-0), a lined shot into the right field bullpen. Durham had built a 4-0 lead against David Pauley (9-11). Joe Dillon's RBI single in the first got the Bulls on the board. Durham added two runs in the fourth on a single by Ray Olmedo and a bases-loaded walk to Fernando Perez.

Jon Weber added a solo homer in the fifth, his 14th, for the final Durham run. Durham (74-58) now has won three straight and four of five on its road trip against playoff contenders. The Bulls entered play two games back of Gwinnett in the South Division race, and 3.5 games ahead of Syracuse in the wildcard hunt. Games for both clubs are not yet complete. A total of 12 games are left in the regular season.

Panthers rookie Sherrod Martin switches to safety By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Sherrod Martin entered training camp as a candidate to snag the No. 3 cornerback job with the Carolina Panthers. Just over three weeks later, the rookie isn’t even playing that position anymore. The combination of falling behind others at cornerback and a slew of injuries at safety has led to the second-round pick

moving to the position he played last season at Troy. Veteran Chris Harris believes Martin is catching on quickly at safety. The Panthers needed him there after starter Charles Godfrey broke his hand in Saturday’s preseason loss to Miami. Backup Nate Salley remains out with a knee injury. Martin’s rookie season has so far been overshadowed by the strong play of seventh-round pick and cornerback Captain Munnerlyn.

PITINO, from page 1B tion but did not have medical insurance. He told police he gave her $3,000, money his attorney Steve Pence said was for insurance, not an abortion. Pitino had planned to stay mum and let the case go to trial when he says “the truth will come out.” Pitino didn’t discuss details of the case at the news conference and said his lawyer had advised him not to speak out at all. Instead, he opted to come forward after local television aired portions of Sypher’s interview. “Enough’s enough, everybody is tired of it,” Pitino said. “We need to get on with the important things in life like the economy and really some crucial things in life like basketball.” Pitino has kept a low profile since his apology, focusing on preparing the Cardinals for the 2009-10 season. He was involved in individual workouts on Wednesday, and updates on the Twitter pages of several players indicated nothing except another series of grueling drills. As his news conference was carried live on television in Louisville, at least one station split the screen with Pitino talking the left, and the police video of Sypher on the right. The video released

under the Kentucky Open Records Act shows Sypher sitting across a table from Louisville Police Sgt. Andy Abbott. A full transcript of the interview was released by police earlier this month. Sypher wasn’t accompanied by a lawyer at the time of the videotaped interview. An attorney who was later appointed to represent her, James Earhart, said before Pitino’s remarks that the release of the police video has no bearing on the federal case. Included in the release of audio and video by police were a series of telephone messages left for Sypher by Pitino. Most of the calls are brief, with him leaving his name and asking for a call back. In one message, though, Pitino alludes to the “very unfortunate situation.” “It’s not something I can decide on,” he says on the message. “I think the best thing in all scenarios is to go through with it. But, that has to be your call because (inaudible) ... I’m a high profile person ... I can’t really give you any advice on this...” It’s not clear from the recording, parts of which are inaudible, what decision he’s referring to. Sgt. Robert Biven said the recordings were provided to police by Sypher.

SPARTANS, from page 1B back with an 8-2 rally to put some points on board, but KVA held on for the 25-20 win. After opening the third set with a 7-3 lead, CFS tied it at 9 and again at 12. They rallied for a 22-14 lead and held on for the win, spoiling any hopes for a Spartan sweep. The fourth set was never in doubt. KVA took a 9-2 lead with aces from Hughes, Morgan Oettinger and Morgan Lloyd. The Quakers brought it to within four at 17-13, but it was the closest they would get. KVA took game point when CFS was whistled for a lift. The Spartans improve to 3-1 on the season, a day after their three-set loss at Northern Vance. In that game, the Spartans were kept on their heels by the Viking defense, and couldn’t get the ball set up close

enough to the net. Ross said that didn’t happen Wednesday. “We really made a concerted effort to push the passes, particularly in serve-receive, up to the setter inside the 10-foot line, and we did a much better job of that today,” he said. Laura Kilian was solid for the Spartans on the day. She had 14 digs, 11 kills, three aces, and just one unforced error with serve-receive. Hughes tallied 25 assists, three digs and two aces. Megan Burrows had a block and six kills. Haley Ross had five kills, two aces, and was 11-of-12 in serve-receive. Lloyd tallied 11 digs and was 13-of-17 receiving serve.

MLB, from page 1B a long time. They’re the ones who claimed there was no steroid problem, even as players bulked up to Incredible Hulk levels and hit balls over the fence with seemingly every other swing. They’re the ones who parlayed the home runs into huge contracts and sparkling new stadiums even when they knew it was all a charade. And they’re the ones who held out until the very end, when political pressure grew too great, before finally instituting the round of testing in 2003 that would lay the groundwork for drug tests in the major leagues. The court’s ruling that federal investigators went too far in seizing the samples and names of 104 players from two labs when it was only looking for 10 players as part of the BALCO investigation came after a protracted legal battle between the union and the government over the names. Prosecu-

tors could appeal to the Supreme Court, but odds are that part of the fight is over. That doesn’t mean curious journalists and others won’t still try to uncover other names on the list. That’s something Braves’ star Chipper Jones — who has never been linked to steroids — was quick to acknowledge. “It’s not going to be over until it’s all out there,” he said. The union reacted predictably, saying the leaks are crimes and that the people involved should be prosecuted. That was probably a show for the membership, though, because the last thing union lawyers want is to get involved in legal proceedings that could cause even more names to be made public. A lot of union members, though, surely would love to see all the names released. They are the players who play clean, yet are always under suspicion because fans have been

bombarded with so much steroid news that they now think everybody juices. The clean players are the real losers in all this, and not just because every time they hit a home run someone wonders. They’re the ones who don’t get monster contracts because they don’t put up monster numbers like their teammate using the latest

Sanchez named Jets starting QB By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The future is now for the new face of the New York Jets, Mark Sanchez. Sanchez was selected as the team’s starting quarterback by coach Rex Ryan on Wednesday, making him the first rookie slated to open a season under center for the Jets. “This comes with a lot of responsibility,” a beaming Sanchez said. “As happy as I am, I know that this is just the beginning and I’m just excited, really excited, to get to play with such great players.” The fifth overall draft pick out of Southern California beat out Kellen Clemens for the job and will make his regularseason debut at Houston on Sept. 13. “This is something I’ve always wanted to do and dreams are coming true now,” Sanchez said. “It’s a special opportunity.” Ryan, who made the announcement after practice, said early in training camp

New York quarterback Mark Sanchez looks on during the second half of a preseason game against St. Louis on Friday, Aug. 14. he’d like to make a decision on a starter by the Jets’ third preseason game. “I think Mark gives us the best opportunity to win,” Ryan said, “and I think that’s what I owe this franchise.” The Jets’ next preseason game is Saturday night against the Giants.

skills during training camp. Ryan met with Sanchez and Clemens on Wednesday morning and told them of his choice. “I’m glad the decision was made earlier rather than later,” said Clemens, who added he thought the competition was fair. The last time a rookie started a season for the franchise was in 1960, when Dick Jamieson quarterbacked the then-Titans. Joe Namath didn’t start until the third game of his rookie season in 1965. Matt Robinson was the last rookie quarterback to start a game for the Jets in 1977. “I feel very comfortable and confident in my decision,” Ryan said. Sanchez won’t have an easy welcome to the NFL, though, facing a tough Texans defense in the opener, followed by home games against New England and Tennessee. Sanchez struggled early in his start at Baltimore in a preseason game Monday night, but threw a touchdown pass to Leon

Washington to cap his final series. Sanchez was 3-for-8 for 43 yards and had an interception — his first pass of the game — returned for a touchdown. “I think it’s not about just one game and I think that defense, I’m not making excuses here, but they’re a great group,” Sanchez said. “They make veteran quarterbacks look silly out there. It wasn’t my best game, that’s for sure. Do I need to improve? Absolutely.” Meanwhile, Clemens was 5-for-10 for 60 yards and a score, but also had an interception returned for a TD. Entering his fourth season with the Jets after being a second-round pick in 2006, also had a solid but unspectacular camp, but threw 12 interceptions compared to the rookie’s five during practices. “I’m disappointed overall because I think I left some plays out there that I should’ve made, both in practice and in the games,” Clemens said. “It’s Mark’s job and I’ll support him moving forward.”

Yesterday’s

Now arrange the circled letters to form the surprise answer, as suggested by the above cartoon.

(Answers tomorrow) VOUCH MELODY FERVOR Jumbles: BARGE Answer: Why he traded his hot dog stand for a push cart —NO OVER-HEAD

SUDOKU

Today’s answer

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are many facets to a job you do and you’ll be spending time on some of the lesser-explored areas of your work. If it’s slow going at first, be patient. You’ll be using a totally different part of your brain. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Doing well with the job at hand will lead to better work. This is true no matter what the job at hand may be. Even if no one is likely see your masterful efforts, they will still pave the way of good fortune. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you communicate too often or for too long, miscommunication is likely to be the result. Keep your message brief so that your listener will know what to focus on. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Healing happens in a minute. Problems go away as if by magic. The answer is so simple, you won’t believe that you missed it yesterday: acceptance. Suddenly, there is no longer a reason to be mad. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whatever your age, you may get the sensation that you are growing up too fast. Stay pure and innocent for as long as you can. Protect yourself from things that make you think less of the world and the people in it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can tell when you’re making a fantastic impression, and today you go beyond that. You could possibly have people falling for you, or feeling that they simply must have your business or your friendship.

Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words.

NORSEP

THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 2009

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You identify with someone’s struggle because you’ve been there before. However, it’s important to recognize that this person will have his or her own way of dealing with the situation. Only give help if you are asked to do so. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you don’t know what to do, do nothing. Fretting is worse than doing nothing and so is taking impulsive action out of fear. Your time is best spent making yourself happy. Answers come when you’re relaxed and smiling. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want others to succeed, even if those people have not wanted the same for you, or have unwittingly contributed in some way to your unhappiness. This is how you know you’re a genuinely good person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your energy and intention are stronger than they were before and they’re also probably stronger than the people around you right now. This is good for you since the prize goes to the one who wants it more. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Be appreciative of all of your teachers. As the poet Kahlil Gibran wrote, “I have learnt silence from the talkative, tolerant from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You find beauty all around you. Find it in the mirror, too. And if that seems too tall an order, do something about it until you can once again admire yourself for the gorgeous creature you are.
